What is the BEST hub and quick release to use for race steering wheel? Not sure yet if I will get Momo, OMP, Sparco. Looking at Momo 07.

Thanks

looks like i have my answer!
thx

 

does rothsport make a hub for the 997 also? what hub do you guys use?

 

Can't help myself...

Rothsport.

 

I'd be willing to bet the 996 adaptor fits the 997, but I would call Rothsport and ask.

 

Has anyone said Rothsport?

The 997 adapter is different than the 996 one, Rothsport doesn't make them for the 997.
But Momo does, and is available readily from a variety of suppliers including Rothsport.

Keep in mind with the 997 and Cayman and the computer controls to continue to work correctly, it is critical to re-center the steering wheel properly as needed.

 

Did a fair amount of research when I was selecting for my 997 track build as well and it was clear that the Rothsport QR is far and away the recommended race unit. A number of hubs out there for the 997.

Problem for me was I wanted to be able to use my car once in a while on the street and wanted a clean electronics hookup, mainly horn, to be wired and the airbag to be defeated. Pretty sure you'll need pigtails somewhere regardless of the hub you select.

I went with a ricer solution that has a pretty good rep with some 997 owners looking for a clean electrical hookup along with the airbag defeat in a nice CNC setup. Check out the Works Bell unit...full electrical integration, strong rep for no play, nice looking and custom 997 hub.

I have one that was made for the 997-based GT3 factory cars. It came from an RSR. Sometimes you can buy these used but in good condition from race teams. If you can't find a used one or would prefer a new one, I agree that the parts from Rothsport appear to be among the best choices.

 

Rothsport! OK, actually responding regarding the hub. For a 997 I found you need a short boss hub. I installed the momo adapter and the steering wheel was practically in my lap. Change to a NRG and works great. You will need to trim a a bit of plastic on the clockspring if you want to retain it.

 

I have a spare OMP 997 hub, if you need one. As Ryan says, though, its depth plus that of the quick release makes for a very close steering wheel. I had a hub shortened at a fabrication shop for my current set up to get around this.

 

this is good info. does anyone know how much more "depth" the rothsport qr + hub (say momo or omp) adds over the stock wheel?
